The comparative aspects of hystricomorph subplacenta: potential endocrine organ [PDF]
BMC Zoology, 2021 Background The placenta of hystricomorph rodents, lagomorphs and some primates includes an unusual structure, termed a subplacenta, which essentially consists of trophoblastic cells located deep to the central implantation site within the area of ...

Large- and medium-bodied terrestrial mammals of the Upper Berbice region of Guyana [PDF]
Check List, 2020 Large mammals are key contributors to forest ecosystems globally, but Neotropical mammal populations are understudied. We employed remotely triggered camera traps and track surveys to assess the mammal community in the newly accessible upper Berbice ...

The U.S. market for imported wildlife not listed in the CITES multilateral treaty
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The international wildlife trade presents severe conservation and environmental security risks, yet no international regulatory framework exists to monitor the trade of species not listed in the appendices of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). We explored the composition and dynamics of

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Evaluating the success of functional restoration after reintroduction of a lost avian pollinator
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Conservation translocation is a common method for species recovery, for which one increasingly frequent objective is restoring lost ecological functions to promote ecosystem recovery. However, few conservation translocation programs explicitly state or monitor function as an objective, limiting the ability to test assumptions, learn from past ...

Local abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around indigenous villages in Suriname
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Hunting is an important threat to tropical wildlife, yet many people are dependent on forest fauna for protein provisioning. We analyzed abundances of terrestrial mammal and bird species around four indigenous villages in the south of Suriname, using camera trap data and the Royle–Nichols abundance model.
